Answer:

Steps shown below

Explanation:

We will simplify this using definitions and identities. Let's start.


(cos(x))/(sin(x)tan(x))

Using
tanx=(sinx)/(cosx), we have:


(cos(x))/(sin(x)(sin(x))/(cos(x)))\\=(cos^2(x))/(sin^2(x))

Using
cot(x)=(cos(x))/(sin(x)), we have:


(cos^2(x))/(sin^2(x))\\=cot^2(x)

Hence, proved.
